Prepare to Dice Edition

Month: October 2016

This is a thing I’m using in my backup D&D Campaign of oldschool nature. It’s a little band-aid on random ability scores’ tendency to dole out characters of very different capability. And as I think 3d6-in-order is pretty fun at its core, I didn’t want to throw it out of the game. Thus, “consolation points” were born.

We played a session three of the OD&D-frankenstein dungeon crawl today, as one player was absent. They got some done, and I got another rush to keep fixing up my own retroclone. It’s still a very different beast to more role-play-y rpgs. It’s still fun, though.

I’m good at this I promise! I just finished writing the report on last session, after we played this one. School eats a lot of time now. Anyways, we got another one in, and it was good as usual. They got something back, found some things, got beaten down, and made an enemy. Sounds like a nice day, eh? 48 hours to doomsday.

We had another session today, and I haven’t even finished writing session 11 yet… Really, I’ll just do that right now. So, I’m back now! Good work me. Anyways, we had a proper 6 hour session, which was great. A LOT of things went down, and the apocalypse might just have begun. Yeah, I know.

We played a session of kind-of OD&D today. One player was missing so this was the backup. I think it was very interesting, as it’s very different from the more story-focused game I run now. D&D in every edition is more dungeon-crawl oriented than what I normally play, but the OSR-games are really quite good. I think this will be my go-to backup game for occasions when someone can’t make it.
